A resolution to urge Congress to repeal the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program.
This resolution urges Congress to eliminate the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, which is the federal government's primary system for issuing student loans. The bill cites the program's role in contributing to a national student debt crisis, noting that millions of borrowers now owe over $1.7 trillion and face significant financial strain. It argues that stopping the issuance of new federal loans is necessary to prevent future economic crises and protect borrowers from delinquency. As a non-binding resolution, it does not directly change any laws but serves to formally request that lawmakers consider repealing the program.
